Awesome Skull!
I just love skulls *hoards them- as taxidermists do* But mine have freaky tribals...

You mean freaky Tribal like this one?[link]
That was my first deviation, the piece that started it all. I see we think alike when it comes to skulls!
I have collected over one hundred of them, with any luck I'll purchase my first human one next month
Thanks so much for the

Hahahah!
Skullsunlimited.com sells almost every kind of skull! Even Morgue human skulls!!!!
XD
I'd like to know what skulls you may have for sale/trade.
AND THAT IS A FREAKISHLY AWESOME RACCOON SKULL!!!!

Skulls Unlimited is fine if you don't mind paying $749 for a human skull with a full set of teeth. TBAntique on E-Bay will sell you the same thing for $300 - $450.
I haven't sold or traded any of my skulls, might be an interesting idea !
Many / most of my skulls can be seen in these two galleries:
And I'm glad you liked the raccoon

Mrrr, that's beautiful.... had I any skills I'd do that with my deer skull.... @.@

Don't be silly, you have plenty of skills. Now, if I were you, I'd plop that deer down right between some candles (next to the oija (sp?) boartd and snap a picture. Just a thought. Glad you liked my little decorated raccoon skull!!

I still love this one! I liked the other lighting more, though, it fit the mood of the piece better. Still, good work.

Interesting comment- The other photographic setting was less than optimum, but I am going to try a few more lighting combinations - good input ! Thx!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think the other setting lent to the feeling of the piece more than this does...

I totally agree, I'm looking for a bag of doubloons as we speak....

You could use those chocolate covered coins as a prop! Just make sure they're out of focus and no one will know the difference! YAY!

Shiver me timbers, yo ho!!!! And I get to eat the props after the shoot!

Great decoration, I love skulls but they tend to need a little something extra, you've found that extra "ZING!"
I have to agree with the above when I could this on a shamans staff or maybe even part of a sacrificial dance around a camp fire?
Failing that my mantel piece *chuckles tiredsomely* damn, i'll go get some sleep.
Brilliant use of a kiddies bracelet and beads

Brilliant or just bored and poor? You be the judge. Either way, thanks for the great comments.

How do I deserve this from a multitalented wunderkind like yourself? Life is funny in my favor, for once!!

You deserve it, silly, because you're just as multi talented as the rest of us.. lol

Do it!!!!!! I would love to see it!!!!!!!! Thanks!

Wow, this one is beautiful. I've always liked beads, and someone's finally found a use for them other than redundant necklaces and bracelets.

This is the same one I had posted before, I just reshot it under ultraviolet light for a different look. Thought I would spruce up my gallery a bit! Thanks as always, dear.

this piece is absolutly beautiful, i agree that it does indeed look like an old tribal decoration, it also reminds me of the pirate vermin in the redwall books. because im a dork.
anyways. gets a +fav from me.
where do you get your skulls from?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have collected them since I was 10. Sometimes I get fresh road kill ( i stake it down on the ground at my work and let nature do its thing), other times just heads or nearly clean skulls from kids or coworkers. And your assesment of the skull is pretty much what I was shooting for!! This is a reshoot of this skull under ultra violet light!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i liked it under non-uv as well, i could get a better grasp of the details, but the uv gives it a cool ethereal ghostly spirit look
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I will e-mail you an unreleased copy of the non-uv, since you seemed to like it too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
rock! thats great, i got it in my email and was all excited and set it as my background ^^
im in NYC right now, but during summer im in the New Hampshire backcountry..ive got to see if i can find some skulls so i can try some skull art out myself!

Good Luck!! Wow, I'd love to see what happens! keep in touch.

that's creative, to say the least...
damn. spiffy...
makes me want to go and dig up my turtle!!
that must have taken a lot of time.
looks like an old heathen decoration, perhaps to be worn around the neck or put upon a stick to shake at people.
amazing!

YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!850 comments, and not one person got it right! That is EXACTLY what I was trying for!!!!!! Amazing. Thankyou so much. Mom, is that you??

*clik*

what exactly triggered this reaction?

Raving compliments generally make me think that my mother has snuck into DA to compliment me in cognito.....ya know, art only a mother could love......I know, I'm wierd and confusing. Those are pretty much my trademarks here. Along with drama, insanity, and Hyperactivity. Oh, yeah, depression, suicidal tendencies and cuddliness...

ah, okeedokee.
well, i'm chock full of not-so-spontaneous combustions of wackiness myself. hmm, cuddliness?
sounds like you've had some complex experiences through life.
me, (and i like to talk about myself ALOT) i'm just amorphous at this point. roller-coaster emotions, but mind is rather sound, so i'd like to believe.
really enjoy your creativity, i does.
hope you keep it up!
it's a wonderful outlet, i've found.

I have a sound mind too, like pffffffffffffffffffeeeeeeeeetetetetetete and mbmbmbmbmbmbmb, sometimes wakakakakaka. I'm extremely emotional, so I can go from kinda cerebral to sarcastic to pissed to affectionate (cuddliness). That's why I call people sweety and dear and that kinda stuff.

hah hah hah! damn, damn you.
lately i've been taken to using terms of endearment on my younger sister, who treats me like an incompetent and always tells me what to do.
my little peach blossom.
of course, a few days ago i called her " my unpluck'd cherry."
afterwards, she stopped telling me what to do!
man, screechy would love you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, pet
uh,
screechy.
he's just screechy and lives in my head.
catskull head, snake body, hook for a tail.
he'd really like you, i think.
he's one of my freeks.
more cat than snake, i think, tho.

I'm sure you've seen my 6 headed kitty. I WILL get custody of him. I don't have any cool inter-mind creatures, tho
